THE OCELOT ELEVEN

Ocelot Factory's
Cheerfully Weird
Guide to the Web

Updated: December 4, 2005

1. The Colbert Report: If, like me, you don't have cable, don't despair. You can still keep up with the funniest man on television (that Frenchman Stephen Colbert) by watching the clips posted on the Web site for his new show.

2. Madness: Spend some quality Web time with Suggs, Chas Smash, and the rest of the nutty boys. Be sure to click the album links at the top to enter the room of interactive mod furniture — and like they say, don't touch the cat! Or you'll be sorry.

3. Margaret Cho's blog: Ocelot Factory only loves two things. One of them is Margaret Cho. If you're a Cho fan too, you can probably guess the other.

4. "I'd Rather Dance With You": Ocelot Factory's favorite music video in years is the charming and very amusing "I'd Rather Dance With You" by The Kings of Convenience. You can watch it at the site for their fantastic album Riot on an Empty Street. (See lower right corner of the page.)

5. Buzzflash Report: One of the best news filters on the Web. Get the real front page news stories that the mainstream media buries on page ten.

6. The new Doctor Who: The BBC's new Doctor Who series has already become Ocelot Factory's favorite science fiction TV series ever, and we can't wait to see Captain Jack's spinoff show.

7. This Modern World: The Weblog of brilliant political cartoonist Tom Tomorrow...a wonderful source of sane commentary and perspective.

8. Glossary of Poetry Terms: Not sure of what the difference is between an iamb and a dactyl? Think a canzone is a kind of pizza roll, enjambment is when you hurt your elbow and a couplet is something kinda dirty? This poetry glossary can keep you from making an anapest of yourself.

9. The B-52's online: Help! The devil's in their car!

10. Bonobo Sex and Society: Find out exactly why and how bonobos have more fun than we do. Add the crucial phrase "penis fencing" to your vocabulary.

11. The Waterboys: Online home for Mike Scott's mystical, poetical, raggle-taggle folk rock band (and my all-time faves, right after the Fabs). Including a tour diary from Mike himself.
